* Fix libpq's behavior when /etc/passwd isn't readable.Tom Lane2015-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users run their applications in chroot environments that lack an /etc/passwd file. This means that the current UID's user name and home directory are not obtainable. libpq used to be all right with that, so long as the database role name to use was specified explicitly. But commit a4c8f14364c27508233f8a31ac4b10a4c90235a9 broke such cases by causing any failure of pg_fe_getauthname() to be treated as a hard error. In any case it did little to advance its nominal goal of causing errors in pg_fe_getauthname() to be reported better. So revert that and instead put some real error-reporting code in place. This requires changes to the APIs of pg_fe_getauthname() and pqGetpwuid(), since the latter had departed from the POSIX-specified API of getpwuid_r() in a way that made it impossible to distinguish actual lookup errors from "no such user". To allow such failures to be reported, while not failing if the caller supplies a role name, add a second call of pg_fe_getauthname() in connectOptions2(). This is a tad ugly, and could perhaps be avoided with some refactoring of PQsetdbLogin(), but I'll leave that idea for later. (Note that the complained-of misbehavior only occurs in PQsetdbLogin, not when using the PQconnect functions, because in the latter we will never bother to call pg_fe_getauthname() if the user gives a role name.) In passing also clean up the Windows-side usage of GetUserName(): the recommended buffer size is 257 bytes, the passed buffer length should be the buffer size not buffer size less 1, and any error is reported by GetLastError() not errno. Per report from Christoph Berg. Back-patch to 9.4 where the chroot failure case was introduced. The generally poor reporting of errors here is of very long standing, of course, but given the lack of field complaints about it we won't risk changing these APIs further back (even though they're theoretically internal to libpq).

| | | | | | | | | | | Attached is the patch to fix the warning messages from my code. I also fixed one which wasn't my code. Apart from the usual warnings about the bison/yacc generated code I only have one other warning message. This is in gramm.y around line 2234. I wasn't sure of the fix. I've also replaced all the calls to free() in gramm.y to calls to pfree(). Without these I was getting backend crashes with GRANT. This might already have been fixed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've completed the patch to fix the protocol and authentication issues I was discussing a couple of weeks ago. The particular changes are: - the protocol has a version number - network byte order is used throughout - the pg_hba.conf file is used to specify what method is used to authenticate a frontend (either password, ident, trust, reject, krb4 or krb5) - support for multiplexed backends is removed - appropriate changes to man pages - the -a switch to many programs to specify an authentication service no longer has any effect - the libpq.so version number has changed to 1.1 The new backend still supports the old protocol so old interfaces won't break.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subject: [HACKERS] password authentication This patch adds support for plaintext password authentication. To use it, you add a line like host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password pg_pwd.conf to your pg_hba.conf, where 'pg_pwd.conf' is the name of a file containing the usernames and password hashes in the format of the first two fields of a Unix /etc/passwd file. (Of course, you can use a specific database name or IP instead.) Then, to connect with a password through libpq, you use the PQconnectdb() function, specifying the "password=" tag in the connect string and also adding the tag "authtype=password". I also added a command-line switch '-u' to psql that tells it to prompt for a username and password and use password authentication.

| | | | | | | | | | | Here are a few minor fixes to Postgres95. Mostly I have added const to some of the char pointers. There was also a missing header file and a place where it looks like "==" was used when "=" was meant. I also changed some variables from Pfin and Pfout tp pfin and pfout because the latter shadow global variables and that just seems like an unsafe practice which I like to avoid.
